Samsung isn’t sure whether it will make a new super-thin phone to replace the Galaxy S25 Edge and further compete with the iPhone Air.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Samsung's Mobile Experience chief operating officer, Won-Joon Choi, confirmed sales of the Galaxy S25 Edge were “relatively lower than other lineups."
“People have different taste and requirements and different criteria in selecting their device,” he said. “We haven’t made a decision when to have a next one, but it’s still being considered.”
Samsung’s SVP of mobile product management, Drew Blackard, told TechRadar that the S25 Edge is “still in the portfolio today,” suggesting it would continue selling its super-thin phone for the foreseeable future.
“We're not like 'end of the life' of the product, we're still selling out,” said Blackard. These comments suggest that any follow-up ultra-thin phones from Samsung may move to a less-than-yearly schedule, if they continue at all.
The S25 Edge launched in May, months after the initial release of the Galaxy S25 series. The brand introduced its Galaxy S26, S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra this week, with each device set to go on sale in early March.
Samsung also introduced its new Galaxy Z TriFold triple-folding phone to the US in January. Choi said the brand has yet to decide whether to release a second-generation TriFold, while hinting that Samsung has other form-factor ideas in the works.

Choi told Bloomberg that it's looking at “as many options as possible" around foldable phones. This comes after rumors of a wider book-style foldable design, enabling a larger-screen style without the need for expensive triple-fold tech.
If true, this would take Samsung to four foldable options: clamshells, two book-like designs with different widths, and triple-fold designs.
Choi also confirmed the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s new Privacy Display feature was first intended to debut on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The new feature is designed to limit viewing angles at the hardware level, allowing you to choose to hide your phone's screen from strangers in public.
Choi said, “We were almost there. But we had to kind of solve a couple of the last challenges. So we took another year to resolve those. It has been quite a journey.”
The brand says it began work on the tech three years ago and hinted it may one day bring Privacy Display to other models.
Samsung also hinted it has bigger plans for the S Pen stylus on future versions of its phones. Choi said, "We’re working on a more advanced technology within S-Pen to come up with a new structure of display, so the penalty of having S-Pen is diminished."
